I have worked up enough money to get one but am having second thoughts. It would be much appreciated if someone can share a photo of it next to a code 4.
I suggest that you wait for the made-in-Italy version. Alternatively, you can call up a retailer with stock like Knifeworks and ask them to look over the knife before shipping. A lot of them seem to be oversharpened at the base of the blade, creating a mild recurve. That's something I can't stand. A knife this expensive shouldn't have so many issues. Cold Steel probably switched production to Italy because of poor quality so it doesn't really make sense to buy the US-made version. Of course, I did buy the US-made version because I found one at a good price. And it didn't work out.
